Unstuck weather continued

 Yes, yes.  My day turns into candy canes, memories of family visits, camping in the UP  and butter pecan icecream when the weather is gentle. .  And yesterday the weather was perfect.  The back of my legs are in a bit of good pain, a result of stooping and raking and pulling stuff from the flowerbeds and a garden that needed to  have it's spring clean.  What a gift...good pain. OOPS! The "little" project got a little bit bigger than I had planned.  That's a yearly good sense problem.   There is much left on the to do list.  Might be a project for the Michigan Carmel kids all 9 to have a hand in.  Pansies got planted in two pots,  Woo, woo.  It was a lovely unstuck wonderful weather day.  

Stella stayed in the garage.  For a few of you all...Yes...Stella Stroller is the walker that appeared in my hospital room at some point.  She is such a good friend who is always ready and who keeps me going..  More than one of you were a bit confused. And yes...she lives in the garage most of the time.  I just didn't have enough hours in the day to walk with her.  The real truth is that after the garden work...Why would I need more exercise?  Time to stop.  The body was happy with that decision.  

I finished my newest knitting project...Another hat, this one a bit looser that will not squeeze my head.  Got to be careful for a little longer.  I've developed another blister on my "new skin" leg.  It is such a touchy place to heal and I'm not very careful.  Got to do better.   Vaseline back on!  

Today brings rain.  The lettuce seeds and pansies will love it.   All the perennials will love it.  The Blue Bells are up!  The Jonquils are ready to burst their buds.  The crocus are outdoing their thing.  Bird food needs to move outside again.   Birds eat regardless of the rain.  Spring things are unstuck and are so much fun to find after their  winter nap.    I'm planning my trip with Rosie to the greenhouses on the south side of Indy.  My goodness, God can be seen everywhere in the garden.  .

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
